The boycott is the first weapon
that organized labor should discard.
It is anti-American, unlawful, and
despotic, and it has been used in nine
cases out of ten without either justi-
fcation or the semblance of discre-
ton. It is the favorite weapon Of
the idler, the lawless, the anarchist;
it is unjust to both labor and CAPT
tai, and it has cost industry tenfold
more than it has cost capital.

ArrENn TIE CONVENTIONS.

This friday evening the Ward meet.
ings of both republicans and democrats OF
the city will be held. A candidate for one
Councilman in each ward is to be nom
mated. Tomorrow Saturday evening
the City Convention Of each party will be
held, the democrats at the Court House
and the republicans at the Opera House,
to nominate candidate for Mayor, Record
err Marshal and Treasurer. Every demo
cratic and every republican voter should
attend these meetings of his party and see
to It that only good men are nominated.
1t is of far greater importance that the
city should have competent, safe, trusty
Off ;ials than that these officials should be
merely democrats or republicans. The
people Of Albany have always been very
independent in voting for city officers,
hence great care should be had in naming
candidates.

Congress meets next Monday. Carlisle
will be elected Speaker, after which the
greatest interest will be felt in the make
up Of the standing committees. The dem
oerats, having majority in the lower
house, will be expected to take the lead in
all financial legislation, as under the con-
stitution all bills for raising revenue must
originate in that house. Reducing the
surplus money in the treasury that is now
accomplishing at the rate of $Ioooooooo
per annunf more than is necessary to pay
the necessary expenses of the government,
will be the aIl-absorbing question Of dis
cussion and legislation. Republicans will
do all in their power to prevent any such
legislation. No Congress has ever met in
times of peace whose dnties were of great
er magnitude than this.
